Venting Your Spleen

What is God like? Religious people have been asking this question for millennia. As Presbyterians, we believe that unless God first speaks to us, we cannot know who God is. Our experiences of life, of humanity, of the world, are so out of sync with God that unless God reveals Godself to us, we are utterly blind to who God is. The Good News is that God has spoken. The first and last word out of God’s mouth is Jesus. Jesus is the very image of God. So if you want to know God, all you have to do is look at Jesus. He is God’s Word in picture form. And the picture he draws is one of compassion. God is compassion. Mercy is at the very root of who God is.
